Working in Dorchester

As well as Dorchester itself (DT1), we survey in Weymouth, Yeovil and Poole.

Dorchester gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a stone or cast-iron bath in a Dorchester property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered. For a period house in Dorchester with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room.

Water across much of Dorset is hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches
Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow

Decisions to make first

Shower system

A concealed thermostatic valve with a ceiling head and handset is the usual choice. A digital valve sets the temperature from a wall panel, and a steam enclosure needs its own generator and supply.

Brassware finish

Chrome is the easiest to keep clean. Brushed brass, nickel and matt black look striking but show limescale marks unless they are wiped down.

Rules that apply in England

In England, the new circuits a luxury bathroom often needs, for underfloor heating, a steam unit or a digital shower, are notifiable under Part P. An unvented hot-water cylinder, often fitted to feed a large shower, must be installed by a G3-qualified installer, and any work on the boiler must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

More about luxury bathrooms

Luxury bathrooms in Dorchester: questions

What is the price of a luxury bathroom in Dorchester?

A luxury bathroom in Dorchester usually costs £12,250–£25,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Dorchester?

Who handles building control for a luxury bathroom in Dorchester?

Building control for Dorchester is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can my floor take a freestanding bath?

Most floors can take an acrylic freestanding bath, but stone-resin and cast-iron baths are far heavier, and the weight sits on a small area. We check the joist size, span and condition at the survey; strengthening a timber floor or spreading the load is sometimes needed, and it is planned before the bath is ordered.
